a Cloud Of Water.

CLEVELAND, o. June Sat Oberlin
this afternoon, during a thunder storm,
much damage was done by ud.burst
or waterspout. When the storm was at
its height an immense volume Of water
came down suddenly, swelling to rag.
ing torrent the little creek which flows
through the town. The stream rose sev.
eral feet within a few minutes, flooding
the streets, Glling cellars and in many
cases driving persons to the upper stories
of their dwellings. One house was float
ed from its foundations, and havoc wss
played by the water in the lumber yards.
Three hundred feet of the Lake Shore
railroad track was washed away, and
one passenger train was stopped. The
food subsidized almost as quickly as it
came. It is impossible to tell now the
exact amount of damage.

John Butte, Holmes, for many years
surveyor of New York city, died at his
home in Plainfeld, N. j., few days ago
in an apoplectic fit. At the funeral ser.
vice Monday seven women, each claiming
to be Holmes legitimate wife, put in an
appearance and made claims on the pro.
perty. They were accompanied by eleven
children who claim Holmes as their
father. The last Mrs. Holmes, who now
has possession of the property, vas mar.
ried to him five months ago by Catholic
priest. While the women and children
were gathered at the house, wrangling as
to the disposition of the property, wife
No. Z went before justice of the peace
and swore out warrants against all the
rest for making threats. One of the sons
took possession of part of the house, and,
barricading the door, threatened to shoot
any one who entered. He was arrested
and sent to the lookup. The women and
other children were released upon their
own recognizance on promising to keep
the peace. All have engaged counsel,
and will make contest for their claims.

DIR. J. B. Hawthorne testifes as

ta: 81 suppose that sensible men are
now satisfied that the people of this city
made no mistake when they extermina.
ted the doggery curse. The paid liars
who have published false reports of our
condition have been exposed at last. The
effect of prohibition upon the morals Of
our people exceeds anything we had
prophesied or hoped for. Think of q
city of more than sixty thousand souls
passing whole day, and sometimes two
days, without one arrest for drunkenness
or any other offence against the Law.
The business of Atlanta is twenty-five
per cent. better than it has ever been
before, and is rapidly increasing every
day. The best class of people are COM
ing to us from every quarter. The hotels
and boarding houses are crowded, and it
is almost impossible to find building of
any sort for rent. Vast amounts of
money have been sent here recently for
investment in real estate and in manu-.
factories. Charters have just been
granted to three new railroads, which
will be completed within the next two
years. Verify it pays to do right"

A White Woman to be Sold.

PADUcAH, KY, June Sin the city
court yesterday, Mollie jackson, white
woman, was convicted of vagrancy, and
Judge Thomas ordered that she be sold
to the highest bidder for thirty days.
The sale will be made as soon as the ad
vertisement has been issued. This is the
first judgment of the kind ever made in
this section, but it is not without prece.
dent in other places in Kentucky. Judge
Thomas's action has met with great
deal of unfavorable comment.

Few persons have an idea of what a
vast machine the postofice department
is. The committee examining into the
workings of the departments, of which
Senator Cockrell is chairman, has just
received reply to its inquiry as to the
number of the department employees.
According to the statement, Postmaster
General Villas is at the head of a force
which numbers between ninety.fye and
ninety.six thousand men. 1t is probable
that no other civil official in the world
has such an immense army of men under
his control. Even this tremendous ag.
gregate does not give the full number of
postal employees. Quite proportion!of
the third and fourth class postmasters
have assistants who are paid out of their
fees, and who, therefore, are not borne
on the rolls Of the department. If these
be included, it is probable that 100000
will be the figure most nearly represent.

DR.. Hawthorne on Atlanta.

Rev. DR.. Hawthorne, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Atlanta, Ga,
arrived in the city yesterday and will
deliver two sermons Sunday in the Sec
ond Baptist church of this city. Speak
ing Of the effects of prohibition in
Atlanta, DR.. Hawthorne said: "Many
of the citizens who opposed prohibition
on conscientious grounds have, after
noting it's effects, come over to our way
of thinking. The city has grown at least
9S per cent since the law went into effect,
and the consumption of liquor among the
laboring classes has decreased not less
than so per cent. OF course there are
some rich gentlemen who have been
drinking whisky all their lives who drink
it vet, but the drinking among the young
men has decreased. There were great
many violations of the law in the begin.
ming, principally brought about by the
efforts of the enemies of the Law, who
tried to make it odious, but after
offenders had transgressed once or twice
the city Judge warned them if they came
up again they would wear stripes. Since
thet stand was taken the violations have
been few" -,
"What prosperity attends the jug bust
ness? i,
aWe have what We call "jug train
that comes up from Griffin every day:
This trains brings up score of jugs,
every morning to those who desire and
can afford to import it in this way.
Domestic wines are allowed for sale, but
this class of beverage is not very much
patronized by whisky or beer drinkers" !"
"Do the. drug stores thrive?"
"Not as much as prior to the enforce.
ment of the law. The Law prohibits the
sale of liquor by drug stores, and not
even liquor for medicine is allowed to be
sold. This was another clause which the
enemies of the bill had inserted at the
last moment in order to make it odioue.
Nevertheless, the Law has been great
success. Atlanta is going right ahead, ,
increasing in business and population at
an enormous rate, and we have watched
the results carefully and find them as J.
have stated to you" From the 81. Louis

= The same diversity of opinion as to
the best form of locomotive for general
use appears to prevail in England as in
America. While coupled wheels, FIVE
feet to six feet six inches diameter, are
mostly preferred for passenger engines, q
few leading American engineers prefer
single drivers, and are disposed to revert
to even seven feet, diameter which has
been tried and abandoned in the past as
not meeting the expectations entertained
of it. About fifteen years is the estima.
ted average life of an American locomo.
tive. It is generally admitted that
railway trains in England are driven at a
faster rate of speed than in the United
States-say about twenty per cent. in
excess of the latter. There are express
trains, however, between some of our
principal cities, that compare fayorably
with those in England.
